A question that is often asked is: do cases made for the iPhone 12 also fit the iPhone 13? The short answer is: NO! But how do you know if a case fits the new or old model? If you're considering buying a new case, here are some guidelines to keep in mind.
The four new iPhone 13 models are actually the same size as the four old iPhone 12 models. However, the camera and the positions of the side buttons have been adjusted. Other than that, both models are very similar. All four new smartphones have flat edges and the same dimensions as their predecessors. They also work exactly the same with the MagSafe.
If you're planning to upgrade your iPhone 12 to the new iPhone 13, you might think you can use your old case with your new phone. Unfortunately that is not the case.

Will an iPhone 12 case fit the iPhone 13?
Since the dimensions of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 are identical, you would think that the iPhone 12 cases and iPhone 13 cases are the same. Unfortunately that is NOT the case. The general dimensions of the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Mini are the same as those of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Mini, but the camera of the iPhone 13 models is slightly wider, so the iPhone 12 cases do not fit the iPhone 13. The side buttons are also slightly lower on the new smartphone. You could possibly force something, but in any case don't expect a perfect fit.
Does an iPhone 12 Mini case fit the iPhone 13 Mini?
This is also not the case. Although the iPhone 12 Mini and iPhone 13 Mini have the same dimensions and specifications, the problem is that the positions of the side buttons of the iPhone 13 Mini have been moved. This makes it inconvenient to use the iPhone 12 Mini cases for the iPhone 13 Mini.
Will an iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max case fit the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max?
Apple has adjusted the camera of the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max compared to the iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max. The camera is therefore wider and higher than the previous model. Unfortunately, the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max cases will not fit the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max.
